Tungsten Darts Glossary -Ⅱ

Tungsten is an extremely dense metal, heavier than lead. It is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart resists wear and the grip will last much longer. On softer metal darts, the grooves and rough knurling may wear down fairly quickly from skin acid, friction, and hitting other darts. Originally tungsten was only a small percentage of the dart barrel (40 - 50%), today most tungsten darts are between 80 and 95% tungsten.

Today let’s learn some glossaries of tungsten dart from H to P!

-H-
HAT TRICK - A score of three bullseyes.

HIGH TON - A score greater than 150.

HOCKEY - A raised 1 1/2" board used to mark the throwing line.

-I-
INNING - A round of completed turns by both players, or a turn in a particular game that has innings, like Baseball or Shanghai.

-L-
LEG - A game in a match, as in "the best of five legs", in which each leg is an entire game. Or, in the game of Legs, a stripe on the dartboard.

-M-
MAD HOUSE - The double-1. At least two explanations for the term have been proffered; because it can drive you crazy trying to hit one in a game of x01, or because it impossible to "get out" of the mad house - once a player has a score of 2 the only way to finish the game is by hitting a double-1.

MAXIMUM - A score of 180

MAXIMUM CHECK-OUT - A score of 170 to end a game. treble-20, treble-20, inner bull

MUGS AWAY - Loser of the previous game goes first in the next game.

MURPHY - A score of single-5, single-20, single-1 in a game of x01. Based on Murphy's Law.

-N-
NAIL - Another word for 1. See "Bucket of Nails" and "Ton of Nails".

NINE DARTER - When a player completes a game of 501 in the minimum required nine-darts. This is a very rare event. There is usually a cash prize for professionals throwing a televised nine-darter.

NOT OLD - A score of 37 (usually by hitting a 20, a 5 and a 12). The phrase is believed to have its origins in a Monty Python sketch.

-O-
OCHE - The line you stand behind and throw the darts from.

-P-
PERFECT SCORE - When a player scores a maximum 180 points in one throw of three darts.

PERFECT FINISH - When a player finishes a game with a maximum score of 170. This must be done by scoring treble 20, treble 20, double bull, with only three darts. This is considerably more difficult than hitting a perfect score as the player must break focus to change targets and it can only be done if the player has an exact score of 170 remaining.

PIE - any of the numbered segments on the dartboard.

POPCORN - When the darts land so close to each other, they knock their flights out.
